[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an emergency C-section. Early on in the induction we started losing his heartbeat. They did a spinal.

Was the decrease in heart rate due to the induction?[/quote]

Cord was wrapped around him. They expect the heart rate to go down when you're having a contraction and then go back up, and his didn't recover. We were only an hour into the induction and I was 0 cm dilated and wasn't feeling any contractions yet. The scariest part was that the doctor was very calm about telling me he wanted to do a c-section etc. and then what felt like 15 OR nurses came bursting into the room to take me to the OR. It was terrifying. [/quote]

10 -29% of babies present with nuchal cords at birth. There is no reason whatsoever to c-section bases on nuchal cord. I delivered 2 large babies with nuchal x3 vaginally with no drugs.

This is a great example of fear-based maternal medicine, though. [/quote]
He. My first had the cord wrapped three times around his neck. His heart rate dropped, and at one point I could tell one of the nurses was getting nervous. She alerted my OB that the heart rate had done something, and my Ob was cool as a cucumber. After three hours of pushing he was born, and they said oh that’s why his heart rate was dipping as well as when he passed under the pubic bone. I think that most OBs would have been scared of something happening and being sued, but she had a lot of experience and trusted her gut. [/quote]
